A place that began
As a vacation dream

Thirteen years ago, we traded our home in California for a quiet stretch of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. What started as an adventure became a place where guests return year after year—not just for the beach, but for the feeling of slowing down, reconnecting, and finding a home away from home.

Welcome to Encantada.
